jit.gl.pix

Generates pixel processing shaders from a gen patcher

Description

The jit.gl.pix object generates new pixel processing shaders from a patcher. jit.gl.pix is essentially a jit.gl.slab object whose shader files are generated from Gen patchers.

Attributes

bypass[int]

TEXT_HERE

activeinput[int]

The current input used for texture and matrix messages (default = 0). Useful when calling input messages from Java or JavaScript.

adapt[int]: 1

Enable adapt to input (default = 1). When enabled the texture output dimensions will match the input dimensions.

colormode[symbol]

Texture color mode (default = argb) Possible values:

'argb'
'uyvy'

dim[2 ints]

The texture output dimensions when adapt is disabled (default = 256 256)

dimscale[2 floats]

The output dimension scaling factor of the output (default = 1 1). Useful for upsampling or downsampling texture output.
output.dim = input.dim*dimscale

dirty[int]
read-only

Gen patcher dirty flag

exportfolder[symbol]

Sets the folder to export gen patchers into when using the exportcode message.

gen[symbol]:

The name of the gen patcher to use.

inputs[int]

Input count (default = 2)

out_name[32 symbols]
read-only

Output texture name

outputs[int]
7.0.0

Number of texture outputs (default = 1). Texture outputs correspond to gen patcher outs.

rect[4 floats]

Geometry rectangle (default = 0 0 1 1). The four values represent normalized coordinates for the left, bottom, right and top sides of the geometry rectangle. To flip the image horizontally use rect 1 0 0 1 or to flip vertically use rect 0 1 1 0 .

rectangle[int]

Enable texture rectangle mode on internal texture objects(default = 1). When enabled the internal GL texture is treated as a rectangular texture, and must be referenced using sampler2DRect and sampled using texture2DRect when sampled from a GLSL shader. When disabled the texture dimensions are upsampled to the nearest power of two value, and must be referenced and sampled using sampler2D and texture2D. Certain texture attributes and GLSL effects require rectangle mode disabled.

t[symbol]

thru[int]

Enable thru mode (default = 1). When the flag is set, texture output is sent whenever input is received.

title[symbol]

Gen patcher title

type[symbol]

The output texture data type (default = auto). When type is auto the type is set by the input texture or matrix type. Possible values:

'auto' ( Adapt to input data type )
'char' ( 8bit unsigned byte )
'long' ( 32bit integer )
'half' ( 16bit float )
'float' ( 32bit float )
'float16' ( 16bit float )
'float32' ( 32bit float )

Blending flag (default = 0) When the flag is set, blending is enabled for all rendered objects.

blend_mode[2 ints]

The source and destination planes associated with the blend mode (default = 6 7) Blend modes are specified in the form src_blend_mode dst_blend_mode. The supported modes are:

enable[int]

Enable flag (default = 1) When the flag is set, drawing is enabled.

layer[int]

name[symbol]

The instance name (default = UID)

texture[8 symbols]

The name of the texture to be applied (default = none). If multiple textures are specified, uses multi-texturing.

Common Box Attributes

exportcode

Export a gen patcher as shader code. With no arguments, jit.gl.pix will export a standard Jitter JXS shader file with GLSL code. The optional arguments can be either 'jxs' or 'webgl' or 'isf'.

In the 'webgl' case, jit.gl.pix will export an .html file suitable for loading in a WebGL context . The code uses TWGL as a helper library and requires the twgl-full.min.js file be in the same directory as the exported html file.

In the 'isf' case, jit.gl.pix will export a .fs fragment shader suitable for loading in a ISF (Interactive Shader Format) context

open

Open the Gen patcher window

param

Sets the given shader parameter with the given atom values as defined in a JXS (Jitter shader) file.

sendinput

Sends an input jit.gl.texture a message. If the first arg is an int, it specifies the texture index to send the message, otherwise all input textures receive the message.
